It seems some people don't seem to understand.... ***SPOILER*****


....that the water symbolizes the medium between life (birth) and death. The water that constantly shows up throughout the movie symbolized the "in between" these two worlds. That is why we see the water in the beginning of the movie and when Emanuel swims with Chloe and then Chloe swims to her mother and they are happy together and at peace.

Humans spend 3/4 of their first year in water, so the image may be something innate. As for me, I have a rather occult beginning revolving around water. The story has been in the family for years and no family member at that time ever disputed it!
